Well, of course.

Great lady, tight band. I was lucky enough to catch them live in 2014 and the little powerhouse herself came out to dance with us after the gig. A wonderful lady and a cancer survivor. Anyone who can dig this sort of thing might also appreciate label mates Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens, Charles Bradley or Saun & Starr.

Or perhaps Lee Fields, or Nicole Willis & the Soul Investigators.

Yes she's been ill with cancer for a long time and has recently had a recurrence, but is back performing again.

I came across Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings because of their excellent cover of "Goldfinger" in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street. Robbie Robertson - who was the film's music complier - had heard of them and thought it was a good idea to put them in the film.

I then saw them on Later....with Jools Holland promoting their most recent album, Give the people what they want in 2014. They performed the song, People don't get what they deserve from the album.

I knew that about Sharon and her fight with cancer.

Yes, she doesn't seem to have much luck.

Their cover of Janet Jackson's "What Have you done for me Lately" is just amazing

Sad news. A talented singer whose music stood out amongst so much manufactured rubbish. RIP
